WHERE IS DR. MERCOLA? He is MIA. His company and his foundation are under new management, his sister has been fired who helped found his company 40 years ago, he has ceased making videos, he has reversed many of his long standing health recommendations and his foundation has ceased their 15 year support of the anti-vaccine charity National Vaccine Information Center. And yet, through all this, Dr. Mercola is nowhere to be seen. The only person publicly representing the Mercola organization is someone called Kai, who claims to be a psychic who channels an "entity" called Bahlon, who is advising Mercola. Where is Mercola? Is he even alive? Why have all these changes taken place in his company and yet he is no where to be seen?

Redux of Alex Jones type lawfare against Dr. Mercola?

Thanks for posting the weird happenings with Dr. Mercola.

Mercola has been under attack since this whole thing started years ago. If you recall, he was identified by Biden as one of the "dirty dozen" that was spreading misinformation and should be deplatformed and cancelled. They de-banked him and closed his bank accounts. They tried to destroy his company and he fought them tooth-and-nail and they failed. I fear now they have come at him through other means and succeeded. The HUGE red flag is that since all these changes occurred, Mercola himself has not personally appeared. Where is he? The things that has been done do NOT fit with the Mercola we know. He fired his sister. Really? He reversed himself on carbs and is now recommending a carb loaded diet that would drive anyone into diabetes! This is not Mercola. He knows too much. For me to believe that he would recommend such a position goes against all logic. Mercola is smarter than that. And now a "psychic" that channels a demon is the only person speaking for him publicly??? No! This stinks to high heaven. I don't buy it for one second. What have they done with him?

One might look more broadly - there are a number of prominent people being taken out from their positions of influence in a wave of censorship. Silencing Bannon, Jones, Mercola, Trump, and others. The enemy is regrouping and taking out prominent people who can help organize an opposition to future plans. Just like what happened in 2021 when Media Matters publishes a hit piece that deplatformed a dozen prominent YouTube influencers over the course of two days.

Thanks for the link. I think what is happening as an organized effort to discredit Mercola. Why is a psychic speaking for Mercola. Mercola can't speak for himself? When I see Mercola in person saying this is his position then I will believe what is being said. Where is he? Until then all of this is not legitimate in my opinion.

I don't trust him either!! Don't dare ask him questions about what he is writing or get into any dialogue he doesn't approve of!!! He'll blast you, block you and lie about you!!!! I had it happen on something very small that I asked him. So take what he publishes with a grain of salt! I've never had that happen on any substacks I participate in!!!!

Following a presumed confidential meeting/contact, Sage Hana got doxxed a year ago or more. Again a year or more ago, I forget who the other party was, the subject party lashed out after the other party challenged. I was done at that point. There was some love lost with *horse farmer/jet setter/presumably vx injured M.D. fairly early, aggression from the side of the subject party. I forget the response: ghosting? blocking? standard🐴tactics; full on full length article? I don't remember, just that the war had become internal. (Just to be clear, though I got sucked into 🐴for about a year at the start I am now at the stage of full distrust; I'm convinced dude's a limited hangout/controlled opposition.) Anyway, behavior of the subject party is not merely of late but rather longstanding. My observations, sans documentation.

I know he has been under attack for sometime. Did they succeed? I am still getting their email, but will quit buying from this company until we get the truth. I’ve relied on him for years, but lately he is amending many of his prior beliefs, so maybe it isn’t him sending them. This is so frustrating. God be with him.

I have lightly followed Mercola for decades but I don't pay a lot of attention otherwise. The change that first alerted me to something going on was his change on carbs a few weeks ago. Abandoning his KETO recommendation, "he" is now recommending a carb loaded diet that would destroy anyone's health and turn them diabetic. I instantly knew that could not be Mercola - unless he has been "captured".

Joni's avatar

Yes, that definitely alarmed me! I have bought some of his Keto books, so when I saw that I was commenting to myself…..are you crazy!!!!

Janet's avatar

Keto, lowcarb and such like IF starves your body and brain from the glucose the body and brain prefers. Science proves that. You aren’t really burning fat properly like you think and gluconeogenisis is using cortisol, adrenaline stress hormones to generate that glucose and leads to bad fat oxidation and insulin resistance long term. Think about it—stress hormones really needed for short term energy should not run your entire brain and body all the time. Degrades and shreds muscles, my thyroid went haywire, bones weaker, (2 surgeries for broken bones) metabolism on the floor and insulin resistance weight gain and more. I eat simple carbs like fruit and easily digested carbs. I’m not stuffing my face with bad carbs and especially bad seed oils. I’m probably over 200 carbs a day now. Decent amount of food. I feel much better, sleep great, more energy with these delicious fruit carbs. Nutritious carbs. Fats, even butter, b doesn’t really have much nutritional value beyond that but maybe Vit A. Fruit has a lot. Lustig is wrong too. Very wrong, but making plenty of money on those mice. Several gurus are now eating more carbs. Admitting the damage. Mercola woke me up to this. I’m grateful but it hasn’t been easy changing.

Nothing wrong with fruit, in moderation, that mother nature meant to be eaten such as berries, papaya, etc. Goes great with a healthy meat based diet. Americans typically eat anything but a healthy diet of mostly processed foods extremely heavy on the processed carbs. Thus the diabetes epidemic. Then you add in all the heavily consumed industrial seed oils and you have a population of sick, weakly people who are dying early. Prior to 1970, Alzheimer's wasn't even a thing... seed oils instead of animal fat and coconut oil.

I understand. I've never agreed with the entire Keto philosophy and got the books because my son was using it and I wanted to understand it better and be able to cook good meals he could heat. I believe in balance in everything, especially eating. I don't eat any junk foods, bad carbs, bad fats, eat all pasture raised meats and raise my own chickens for my eggs. I also get raw milk from grass fed cows and won't give up any quality food group. We can only eat so much and I believe in a well balanced and high quality food diet. I'll never give up fruit, especially fresh berries of all kinds and now is the season they are coming in.

Janet's avatar

He’s put out recent stuff and videos. I’ve watched them. He put his archive back on line so not sure what the poster means. Yes, he has amended some of his recommendations. No longer low carb keto because he now understands that long term use of IF, low carb, keto, carnivore works fine for awhile and then causes metabolic and energy generating damage at the cell level, leading to down regulation of metabolism, thyroid, insulin resistance, weight gain and much more. I’m trying to reverse my damage from nearly 10 years of it. He has helped make me aware of all this. The trend is leveling out on all this plus former gurus are changing their tune. I don’t buy his products as I try to keep supplement use down.

My new position is "all the vita pills industry is complete BS". Until I find otherwise. Especially from the fancy expensive guys like Mercola. We know much of the sources are Chinese/India industrial chems, and then put into pills here to be labelled as 'made in America'.

CDC is corrupt. Our doctors are corrupt. Why do we trust the vita industry as we seek 'health in a pill'. 3rd party testers? Could be bought off. Let's investigate and ask questions!

I have used supplements for decades to great effect. However, I believe about 80% of all supplements are BS...just a guess. I have limited myself to a very few supplement companies, most notably Life Extension whose supplements have always proven to be first rate and they back it up with real science.

So as much as people can say eat better, I already eat great but we still have to rely on quality supplements to enhance what we need. I have asthma and have used vitamin c supplements for years. There is no way I can eat the amount of food to get me the dose I need in vitamin C.

Same here! & I’m gluten free, non gmo , Apeel makes me burp for hours. Every time I go shopping, another company has cheapened their products to keep the cost down. My favorite chocolate covered almonds was the most recent one.

Joni's avatar

Please stay away from Apeel and Organipeel!!! I trust nothing out of Gates! I eat organic and nongmo for anything I can’t buy organic. But one thing I learned about nongmo to be careful about. It still has pesticides and you really want to eat organic grain and flour products. The worst thing is how conventional wheat is being processed in the U.S. They now harvest it with glyphosate to dry it faster. Well we know you can’t take that out. Plus nongmo corn likely has pesticides so I recommend organic corn products unless you buy from farmers you know. I think a lot of people are avoiding gluten when the issue now because of all the pesticides they are using to harvest it. Who ever expected the US to be the worst in the food industry!! It’s just diabolical.

I’ve been modifying many of the supplements I take as so many companies have been bought out by Big Pharma or other corporations who have done questionable things! It’s so frustrating as I have been doing this almost 30 years and now the companies we trusted are being bought out. Although some of the prior owners have said they will stay involved, there is only so much these companies will let them do. Life Extension is one I am impressed with all the way around. They offer so much more than just supplements. It’s a well rounded company!

Kelli's avatar

Agreed, though I do take some supplements.

The core issue is, once again, looking for "salvation" in the material world. Whether looking to mainstream doctors or alternatives, it's still believing the world can save us. I advocate for finding one's Inner Voice (connection with God), and asking to be led to whatever is appropriate for any given situation.

I am with you about hearsay. So far we have no idea who is speaking for him and I do recall when he came out and advised us that he was being threatened as well as his family. I can see them coming in and destroying everything he worked for. The carb thing really was a red flag since I have bought some of his keto books and this was an huge change! I just deleted it and moved on. Something didn't seem normal at all. Just look what they are doing to President Trump. Then do a search for Dr. Mercola and there are all kinds of hit pieces on him by the leftists talking heads!

Just speculating, but he may have been targeted for psychological warfare and perhaps had a breakdown. I noted that one of his last videos he was touting buying eggs only from a person who fed her chickens peas that had been cooked over a 24 hour period and he was paying $25 a dozen. It was really odd. That's not a natural diet for chickens.

I know, but he tipped me off to the damage of low carb and keto, fasting etc long term. Most of which I have or am experiencing. There is so much wrong after the initial good feeling or weight loss. Downhill health problems that don’t appear for a while. He’s always been super enthused and s bit hyper plus on the cutting edge. Just because he’s eating fruit now or sells supplements , doesn’t make him suspect. They all do. He admits his mistakes which you have to agree is pretty rare these days. He lists sources and references for each article. I have learned a lot. He has been attacked by all sides of power.
